Castor Oil is extracted from the castor bean/seed. Jamaican Black Castor Oil in particular is made from the seeds of the Castor Plant grown particularly in Jamaican and processed the traditional Jamaican way. The plant was brought to the Caribbean during the slave trade. The castor bean contains ricin, which is a toxic protein. When the bean is heated during the extraction process, this heat denatures and inactivates the ricin protein. The beans and roasted and then boiled and the oil skimmed from the top. Any remaining ricin is left behind in the meal or paste that is left once the oil is skimmed from the top.

It is best to use Jamaican Black Castor Oil topically. It is intended for external use only ( as is indicated on the bottle) and is to be used as you would any cosmetic product.  We would recommend washing your hands after use and being careful particularly when using on children. Make sure to store these bottles out of reach of children as you would with any cosmetic product.

Pregnant women should never ingest Jamaican Black Castor Oil. It is a powerful laxative.

Keep Your Bottle of Jamaican Black Castor Oil out of direct sunlight and keep in a cool dry place. Once opened like any cosmetic product, air and water(water vapour) can enter the bottle and cause the oil to denature or degrade. Placing it in a hot or warm place can make this happen even faster. We would recommend that once you have opened your JBCO, only keep it for another 12 months as is indicated on the bottle. It should be considered expired after 12 months.

If used correctly Jamaican Black Castor Oil can be an excellent addition to combating dry hair, skin and scalp problems and even over dyed and chemically processed hair.

The Creator Of Fountain Jamaican Oils

Posted in Jamaican Black Castor Oil | 2 Comments

Taken from the pages of Style 101 Magazine!

The secret to Jamaica’s fountain of youth, is Sandra Gustard’s Pimento Oil. Traveling across the globe, in search of the best, natural healing, Gustard has combined some of the world’s finest ingredients into an elixir that’s sure to sooth the soul… Here’s the scoop:

1) What does cleanliness and being ‘earth-balanced’ mean to you?

To me (Lady English), cleanliness simply means being in a state of purity, untainted, unsullied… uncompromised! To be ‘earth-balanced’ means to be in harmony with God’s supply and provision for our sustenance, as ‘He’ intended; the desire to be at ‘one’ with nature, in its purest, unadulterated form! 

2) Do your products reflect the way you feel about life and Mother Nature? 

Definitely! I only want to ingest and/or apply herbal, natural medications to my body; therefore it behooves me to want the same for my consumers! I pride myself on the fact that all of our products are chemical, additive and preservative free! Our product line is small, as I have to undertake research to ensure that any product that Cockney Finestyle, LLC releases, is only of the highest grade and cultivated in its natural state! Each bottle or jar is custom made, bottled [and] labeled by hand, there is nothing mechanical utilized in our process! 

3) Who inspires you?

God! I give Him all the honor, praise and glory for the wisdom and strength to persevere, despite the challenges. Secondly, Madame C.J. Walker (one of the first, female African-American entrepreneurs), [who was quoted as saying] “There is no royal flower-strewn path to success. And if there is, I have not found it for if I have accomplished anything in life it is because I have been willing to work hard!” [And] finally, Estée Lauder, because she only wanted her brand in the hands of people who were known for having ‘the best!’ 

4) When did you embark on your journey of becoming an entrepreneur? 

Well, prior to migrating to the States, I was a freelance journalist, booking agent and artist manager (amongst other things), so I always knew I could sell music and people! However, in 1997, [after women] kept stopping me on the street and asking about my attire, I decided to sell clothes and shoes [out of] London! I sold my wares mostly at West Indian beauty salons, nail shops, etc., and did brisk-business selling as a ‘mobile boutique!’ I established Cockney Finestyle, LLC in 2001 (as it was my intention to open a chain of stores selling European fashions), but both the stores I had, failed, as the clothing sizes were just, too small for the majority of customer[s]. After a visit to Jamaica [in] 2008, I discovered Pimento Oil at Bath Fountain, a natural, mineral spa where people would flock to heal all kinds of sicknesses. I received a full-body massage (with Pimento Oil), and after that day, I felt like a new person. I had suffered permanent nerve-damage to my left arm, several herniated discs and a severely pinched nerve, for which I had been receiving cortisone shots. I approached who I thought was the creator of [Pimento Oil] and ordered several gallons of the ‘miracle oil,’ [but] when the container’s arrived in New York, I was horrified to find that it was a poor replica of the original! So, basically I just researched the ingredients, had my family send me the leaves, barks, berries, etc., and came-up with my version of ‘Pimento Oil.’ I literally, just cooked and soaked everything for 3 months… used it, and gave away many, many samples to people, to see if it did what it was supposed to do, and the rest -as they say- is history! 

5) Where do you find most of your work materials and/or ingredients?

All of the ingredients come straight from Jamaica, with the exception of the packaging. All of the botanicals in our products grow abundantly wild in Jamaica, without any assistance, other than real, Jamaican sunshine!

The Many Uses of Jamaican Black Castor Oil

The Many Uses of Jamaican Black Castor Oil

Posted in Jamaican Black Castor Oil | No Comments

Jamaican Black Castor Oil has many varied cosmetic uses for the hair, skin and face. Here are just a few methods for you to try here.

HAIR
Pre Shampoo Treatment

  • Prior to shampooing the hair, apply a generous amount to the hair, root to tip and the scalp. Massaging into the entire head.
  • Cover with a plastic cap and leave on the hair for at least 30 minutes
  • Some choose to cover the plastic cap with a hot towel or hair dryer allowing for better penetration
  • Others choose to leave the oil in overnight
  • Shampoo and Condition the hair as normal

Encourage Growth By Using Daily

  • Use small amounts of Jamaican Black Castor Oil by Massaging the oil into your scalp daily.
  • An applicator bottle can be an excellent way of getting this oil to the oots of your hair, particularly for those with thin hair or very long hair.
  • Apply to a clean scalp. Applying the oil to a dirty scalp can hinder rather than encourage growth as bacteria and funghi wil flourish in a dirt and oil. Apply to freshly or at least recently washed hair.
  • Make sure to adopt a good wash regime and wash this oil out of your hair every few days especially if you are using the 100% pure oil.

Daily Maintenance

  • Soften Hair  and give your hair Shine by using Jamaican Black Castor Oil
  • Apply Daily to the temple or crown area to help soften the hair. This part of the hair is very prone to breakage from daily styles like a slicked back pony tail or excessive combing. Castor Oil is a humectant and draws moisture into the hair strand. The dry hair on he temple and crown will benefit from a little extra maintenace by applying this.
  • Apply a small amount to the strands to give the hair a little added shine!

Hot Oil Treatment

  • This treatment is best done when ou have time, on a Sunday afternoon.
  • Place the oil in a sink with warm water, this will slowly heat the oil. You do not want it to be too hot as it will scald you on application.
  • Lightly Wet your hair
  • Massage a generous amount of the oil thoroughly into in your hair and scalp so that all your hair is exposed to the oil.
  • Put plastic cap on your head and wrap a warm towel around it or sit under a hair dryer if you have one available for 15 – 30minutes.
  • Shampoo
  • Condition(you can also add a bit of castor oil to your conditioner too)
  • Style as normal

Deep Conditioning Treatment

  • After Shampooing the hair towel dry
  • Add a tablespoon of Jamaican Black Castor Oil to your deep conditioner as a moisturising agent.
  • Spread throughout your hair and gently detangle
  • Wash Out

Seal in Moisture on the ends of your hair-

  • Applying an oil after moisture prevents the moisture leaving the hair strands easily
  • Moisturise the hair as per normal
  • Rub a small amount of Jamaican Black Castor Oil into your hand and spread it into your hair an along the strands (to avoid the greasy heavy feeling only a small amount is required)
  • Mix with Grapeseed or Jojoba Oil so it is not as thick. Foutain Jamaican Black castor Oil is a wonderful leave in and is great for his purpose and also has a refreshing odour.

Protecting Your Ends Pre Relaxer.

  • This helps prevent overprocessing as the hair is coated and protected by this thick oil.
  • Prior to the relaxing process. Apply a genrous amount of the oil to the parts that have already been relaxed.
  • The oil will coat and protect the hair and help stop the part of the strand that has already undergone the relaxing process from being relaxed again

EYEBROWS

Jamaican Black Castor Oil can also be use to help your eyebrows and eyelashes to grow. You may need to re grow your eyebrows after years of over-plucking or you may feel that you could benefit from thicker eyelashes.

Try applying a little of the oil to your eyebrows or a very small amount using a cotton bud to your eyelashes before bed. Only use the 100% pure oils for your  eyebrows and eyelashes. The essential oils in the types of fragranced JBCO available on the market (lavender, rosemary, ylang ylang) could cause irritation. Try not to get this in your eyes as this can also cause irritation. This must be done carefully.

ACNE

Jamaican Black Castor Oil can also be used to treat  acne. Jamican Black Castor Oil has been known to help reduce sebum production which is linked to the causes of acne wthout drying out your skin. Here is a simple method for those of us with busy schedules.

  • Do this every night for 4 weeks
  • Wash face with warm/hot water to open the pores with our normal cleanser. (If you have more time ou could steam your ace for several minutes and then wash with warm water)
  • Apply the Jamaican Black Castor Oil sparingly to the face before bed
  • Leave this on overnight, try sleeping on your back so that the oil doesn’t immediately get rubbed off
  • When ou wake in the morning your skin should have absorbed the castor oil and it should not feel greasy or oily.

Fountains Perfect Combination for Jamaican Black Castor Oil: Enhancing Jamaican Black Castor Oil

Fountain Jamaican Black Castor Oil Hair Food

Fountain Jamaican Black Castor Oil Hair Food

The Fountain Oil Collection includes the Fountain Jamaican Black Castor Oil Liquid Hair Food, Fountain Pimento Oil, Fountain Pimento & Mint Medley Bath Salts. Of this range all the products are a unique mixture of the finest organic leaves, berries & barks sourced directly from Jamaica and grown in the Jamaican sunshine. Completely organic! Rural Jamaicans do not use fertilisers on their farms – no chemicals or preservatives.

Problems faced by those opting to use Jamaican Black Castor Oil for their hair and skin

  • Sticky
  • Thick and difficult to massage in
  • Unpleasant Smell
  • Itchy Scalp – Problems cause by clogged pores

Fountain’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil Liquid Hair Food

The colour of this oil is golden brown in colour as with any authentic Jamaican Black Castor Oil. However it is not accompanied by the usual burnt smell or sticky, thick consistency and as such will not block pores. Fountain’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil Liquid Hair Food, is mixed with three very vital components which enhance and compliment its effectiveness. Along with the brown 100% pure and authentic Jamaican Black Castor Oil, this is mixed with Jojoba Oil, Peppermint & Eucalytus sourced directly from Jamaica. Castor Oil contains Ricinoleic acid and Undecylenic acid and many other omega-9-fatty acids which contribute to its anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-fungal effects.Jamaican Black Castor Oil also contains these phytonutrients that help destroy many types of bacteria, fungi and other parasites that can cause scalp and skin problems like dandruff. Castor oil is extracted from the seeds of the castor oil plant (ricinus communis). The extracted oil is pale yellow and transparent when cold pressed. However, this 100% authentic Jamaican Black Castor Oil is made by using the traditional Jamaican method of extracting the oil. This involves roasting the beans then, pulverizing them in a mortar. Water is then added to the “mashed “beans, before being slow boiled on a wood fire. The finished result is a pure, unadulterated, thick, pungent, dark brown oil, hence the term “Jamaican Black Castor Oil”.

Not Sticky, Not Thick

With the incorporation of Jojoba Oil, Fountain Jamaican Black Castor Oil Hair Food is not thick or sticky and as the oil is not as thick it is easier to massage in.

No Unpleasant Smell

Peppermint (and Eucalyptus) gives the oil a fresh more pleasant scent. These also enhance Fountain Jamaican Black Castor Oil’s ability to stimulate circulation in the scalp. Bringing much needed nutrients to the hair follicles.

Wont Clog Pores

Leaving 100% pure Jamaican Black Castor Oil on the scalp can encourage rather than fight bacterial and fungal growth. Our sebaceous glands (in the scalp) also produce oil, a dirty scalp along with oil build up will clog up the pores and can actually cause skin and scalp problems. Using this oil incorrectly has resulted in many reporting that Jamaican Black Castor Oil causes itchy scalp and irritation. Fountain has solved this problem by including Jojoba Oil in their formulation. The addition of Jojoba Oil to Fountain’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil enhances the benefits of this castor oil by dissolving sebum build up, restoring the correct amount of sebum on the scalp or skin and creating a healthier scalp. Jojoba Oil is a natural moisturizer and conditioner for the hair since its structure is similar to the natural oil produced by the sebaceous glands in the scalp.

A perfect combination of oils working together to create a healthy scalp and encourage growth. Fountain Jamaican Black Castor Oil Liquid Hair Food’s unique combination is not sticky, not smelly, not too thick and will not clog pores! Fountain lists several ailments that Jamaican Black Castor Oil can help with. Rheumatism, arthritis, back pain, sore muscles, stiff joints, poor circulation, nerve damage, fluid retention, swelling, Skin infections, ringworm, psoriasis, athlete’s foot, burns & scars and fungal infections, cuts, sores or insect stings, Insomnia, IBS symptoms, stomach aches, digestive complaints, gas (bloating) or menstrual cramps, Swollen lymph nodes, cysts, moles and warts, Liver spots (age spots) and hyper-pigmentation, Chest congestion, sore throat, blocked sinuses, or cold, Sparse eyebrows and eyelashes.

How To Use Fountain Jamaican Black Castor Oil Liquid Hair Food

  • Use Jamaican Black Castor Oil as a pre shampoo treatment.
  • Use daily to encourage growth. Apply small amounts of Jamaican Black Castor Oil daily to your hair roots and scalp. Then massage the oil into your scalp using your fingertips. You can leave the oil on your scalp overnight.
  • Once per week use Jamaican Black Castor Oil as a Hot Oil Treatment - ✓After applying Jamaican Black Castor Oil to your scalp and hair, cover your hair with a plastic cap and go under the Dryer for 15 to 30 minutes. ✓Shampoo & Condition then style as normal
  • Add it to your deep conditioner as a moisturising agent.
  • Sealing in moisture on the ends, prevents the moisture leaving the hair easily after ithas been applied. ✓Moisturise the hair as usual. ✓Rub a small amount of Jamaican Black Castor Oil into your hand and spread into your hair. ✓Fountain JBCO is wonderful as a leave in as it has a refreshing odor.

What Colour is Jamaican Black Castor Oil

What Colour is Jamaican Black Castor Oil

Posted in Jamaican Black Castor Oil | No Comments

Authentic Jamaican Black Castor Oil is made without any mechanical intervention and is processed manually unlike clear cold pressed castor oil. During the traditional process in which Jamaican Black Castor Oil is extracted, the Castor beans are roasted then pulverized in a mortar. Water is then added to the “mashed “beans, before being slow boiled on a wood fire. The finished result is a pure, unadulterated, thick, pungent, dark brown oil which is skimmed off the top, hence the term “Jamaican black castor oil”. The ‘black’ in the name ‘black’ castor oil stems from its difference in appearance to cold pressed castor oil which is clear. Authentic Jamaican Black Castor Oil made in this manner will be golden brown to dark brown in colour.

Here are some descriptions of brands you can find on the market in the UK.

1. Fountain Jamaican Black Castor Oil Hair Food and Fountain Pimento Oil.

Colour of Fountain Pimento Oil and Fountain Jamaican Black Castor Oil Hair Food

Fountainʼs Jamaican Black Castor Oil Liquid Hair Food, is unique in that it is mixed with two very vital components. Along with the brown 100% pure and authentic Jamaican Black Castor Oil, it contains Jojoba Oil and Peppermint. Fountain is an ethical company and help the Jamaican farming population, sourcing these ingredients directly from Jamaica.

The colour of this oil is golden/ dark brown and the addition of Jojoba Oil enhances its properties and does not hinder the benefits of this castor oil. Jojoba oil penetrates the hair shaft to loosen and dissolve sebum build up, creating a healthier scalp and peppermint enhances the castor oilʼs ability to stimulate circulation in the scalp. Even with these additions the product is mostly Jamaican Black Castor Oil and retains that distinct brown colour.The Jamaican Black Castor Oil Hair Food is pictured here with the Fountain Pimento Oil which is on the left. This also contains Jamaican Black Castor Oil but is a on olive green/ brown colour. It is a combination of Pimento Oil, Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Lemongrass, Annato Seed, Peppermint and Nutmeg.

2. Sunny Isle Extra Dark Jamaican Black Castor Oil

Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil is also made the traditional Jamaican way. In order to make the Extra Dark Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Sunny Isle roast their castor beans for a longer period resulting in greater ash content which means that the oil is slightly darker. They claim this makes the oil more effective. Here is the Extra Dark Variety along side Jojoba Oil.

Sunny Isle Extra Dark Jamaican Black Castor Oil and Jojoba Oil

  Sunny Isle Extra Dark Jamaican Black Castor Oil and Jojoba Oil

The Sunny Isle Jojoba Oil is a bright yellowy colour alongside this darker brown Jamaican Black Castor Oil. To make their Extra Dark Jamaican Black Castor Oil, Sunny Isle roast their beans for a longer period and more ash content means that the oil is slightly darker.

Here is the Extra Dark Variety along with the Regular/Original.

Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil Comparison Regular and Extra Dark

Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil Comparison Regular and Extra Dark

There is a very slight difference in colour and it can be seen that the Extra Dark is ever so slightly darker brown colour. The Regular is a brown/golden colour while the Extra Dark is darker version of this.

The varieties of Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Rosemary are enhanced by adding these essential oils to 100% pure Jamaican Black Castor Oil. Only a few drops are added and the colour of the oil remains the same throughout. Here is a picture of the three varieties of Sunny Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil.

All Varieties of Sunny Isle Colour Picture

These essential oils are meant to enhance to the properties of the oil and do not change its colour. All three are a rich golden to dark brown colour. They are made with 100% Jamaican Black Castor Oil and a few drops of essential oil are added.

3. Tropic Isle Jamaican Black Castor Oil

As with the other brands of authentic Jamaican Black Castor Oil, this is a rich golden brown colour. This is 100% Jamaican Black Castor Oil with no additions. Tropic Isle only lightly roast their castor beans. They do this so that the burnt residues do not become a part of the oil, and they do not over process the oil as together they make the oil thicker.
